Field Pea Shoots

Young pea shoots include the stem, leaf, and tendrils of the pea plant. Distinct from the afilla and snap pea shoot varieties, the field pea shoot has longer stalks and shorter tendrils. Popular in Asian cuisine, micro pea shoots taste reminiscent to the common English legume yet carry a distinct sweet, spring-like flavor. Their multipurpose flavor yet novel appearance makes a curious garnish to most any dish.
